The Coolest Ways To Photograph Your Mehendi-laden Hands!

So you sat through those 6 hours to get the perfect bridal mehendi design on your hands, and as exhausted as you are you know it's time for some photo ops right? Trust us, you need to take out time to do that, 'coz Mehendi looks more amazing when it is wet thanks to the contrast against the skin, and it doesn't look all nice for very long once the shedding starts! So here are some ideas on how to photograph your Mehendi (apart from simply showing it of course!) One tip, ensure your photographer comes only when half your mehendi is done (if you mehendi takes too long, he may leave before its finished)

Frame it!
